10 whom they will apply ale the youug e
infidel, the moral young man and the
proc rsstinatin1 young man who intends
At some time to become . Christian.
None of these young men can be con.
sidertd safe. The influence Of sin upon
the human soul was illustrated by the
my tn Of Prone theus bound to the rocks
on Caucasus, and constantly preyed
upon by vultures. Another illustra
+, tion WAS, taken from Stenson's novel,
1.-THE Strange Case Of DR.. Jekyll and
Mr.. HYDE" in which sin was likened
to the drug that transformed DIR.
Jekyll to Mr.. Hyde, and for a time
| transformed the latter into the former.
but fually the deepicable Hyde could
not be changed 70 the good doctor, and
he died In agony.

Arise" after which Mr.. Herald SANG
"Shall be Saved Tonight" He an

OF the tenth chapter. secoDd Ktngs: "Is
thine heart risht?" from which he
preached Q solemn and impressive ser.
mon.
i He said that to be right with God one
ust have o repeHtant heart, willing 10
submit himself and every thing he has
to Him; o believing heart, trusting I'M
plicity in His written word for pardon
through Christ, and . trusting heart,
having faith In God whatever comes. A
large number rose for prayer, and sew

Sudden Death of an Old Resident.

Our citizens were startled on Monday MORN
ing upon learning of the death of Mr.. Edwin
Scribner, which occurred suddenly. Mr..
Scribner but few hours before his demise
was in his usual good health. Sabbath after
noon he complained of pain in his chest and
again on Monday morning, and it was but
a few minutes after that he breathed his last
in this world. At the time of his death Mr..
Scribner was staying at the home of his SON.
in-law, W.T.. Daggett, on Washington street.
He moved with his parents to Henry county
from Greenville, Ohio, in the year 1878, when
he was in his 10th year, and has resided in
this county ever since. He was probably the
oldest resident Of the county at the time of
his death; but few families we're in the coun-
ty when he moved here, but one house being
on the ground where Napoleon now stands.
He has seen Napoleon grow to be the pleas
ant little city it now is from solitary house
and the county from vast wilderness toits
present high state of cultivation. He was
aged 7s years, 10 months and % days. His
funeral took place yesterday from the Pres.
tyterian church, bis remains being followed
to the grave by friends and relatives.
